The problem for Israel is that as time goes on, the trend in weapons is for weapons to become more and more effective at longer and longer ranges

A relatively cheap video chip, DSP with some software, model rocket engine, and a couple of oz of plastic explosive, would make an anti-personnel device which would be difficult to protect against. They could be fired from the opposite side of a building, a block away from the soldier target. If we were trying to occupy China, that's the sort of insurgent device we would be up against. It is only a matter of time before we see them in the ME, at which point, our soldiers will no longer go on dismounted patrols. Israel will face the same thing.
